DIVIDING A ROOM.
When one’s means are limited and it is necessary to live in a bedsittingroom, the need for arranging the room so that it is bright and cheery is more insistent than when accommodation is more spacious. To preserve an air of privacy suggestive of two apartments it is an excellent plan to try to divide the room in two. In offices this is done by the simple expedient of erecting a partition, but rooms seldom look well when so treated. .It will often be found that a screen or two, cunningly placed in suitable positions, can suggest that there are two rooms, each preserving an identity and atmosphere of its own. Screens supply the best means whereby a room may be divided. Many enterprising business girls find that the making of such screens come well within their compass, and many ornamental and practical designs emerge from their fertile brains. Ornamental screens are often costly; so that the average woman who needs one or more for the purnose specified will probablv be well advised to get the wooden framework made, and then personallv apply some fabric of a nature that will be in harmony with its surroundings.
